Carhartt to provide clothing to area flooding victims

Carhatt said Thursday it plans to donate more than 8,000 pieces of apparel to be distributed to area flood victims in Montgomery, Schoharie, Delaware and Fulton counties. Carhartt said it would partner with Curtis Lumber Co. of Ballston Spa to distribute the clothing.

New York Assembly members George Amedore and Peter Lopez approached Curtis to help with the distribution.

Flood victims can acquire clothing by contacting their local Montgomery County fire department, contacting the Delaware County Emergency Management Service, or through the Schoharie Fire Department at New Holland Tractor in Schoharie.

I should mention how Carhart has outsourced all of its manufacturing out of the US and has been trying to keep it quiet while sales are down. Look at the tags. This is probably just a PR stunt because if they cared about the citizens of the USA then manufacturing would still be located in the USA.

@4—Thanks for the newsflash. Carhartt isn’t alone and certainly is not the first (or last) company to move manufacturing outside the U.S.
If they didn’t, the t-shirts would be $40 each and nobody would buy them.
The other day I saw a bumper sticker on a Toyota that said “do not outsource Verizon jobs”. Talk about irony.

Preach to your neighbors who all have Hondas and now Kias in the driveways.

J- and you wonder why are economy is in the shape it is. You are wrong, the t-shirts never went down in price and actually increased after the move. When the globaization and outsource frenzy started, did you ever see any prices going down? I think not. If we could afford thing when they were made domestically then why can’t we now?
